Proceeds from FREE Kids Meal Coupons Support Individuals Living with Disabilities CHICAGO, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday season, Friendly Ice Cream Corporation will spread extra-holiday cheer to area families living with disabilities, launching a limited-time holiday season fundraiser to benefit Easter Seals. From November 24, 2006 through January 2, 2007, guests of Friendly's restaurants can support Easter Seals by donating a $1, and in return, will receive a thank you coupon sheet redeemable for five free kids meals (valued at $20 or more). "We want to thank our Friendly's guests for giving back this season -- the holiday kids meal coupons give us an opportunity to do that," says Kenneth D. Green, senior vice president of operations for Friendly Ice Cream Corporation. "It's just another way for Friendly's to help make a difference in the lives of children and adults with disabilities. And with Easter Seals, we know every dollar raised will truly make an impact on people who live in the many communities we serve." The money raised through Friendly's kids meal promotion will help Easter Seals provide such comprehensive programs and services as medical rehabilitation, assistive technology, inclusive child care, adult day centers, and even camping and recreation for children and adults with disabilities. "This holiday-timed fundraiser further demonstrates Friendly's 25-year- plus commitment to Easter Seals mission of helping people living with disabilities," said James E. Williams, Jr., president and chief executive officer of Easter Seals. "This holiday season, the heart of Friendly's business shines through once again." Since 1981, Friendly's has played a key role in supporting Easter Seals and the thousands of children and adults living with disabilities the organization serves. Friendly's restaurants up-and-down the East Coast have raised more than $23.3 million to date; $1 million in 2006 alone. The company's annual Valentine's Day campaign, "Cones for Kids' will begin at the conclusion of the FREE kid's meal promotion -- running January 3 through February 14, 2007.
